Global Game Jam 2010!

It’s a new year which means it’s time for another Global Game Jam. I didn’t participate last year but after reading all about it I felt it would be a major loss to skip out this time. Fortunately for me DigiPen will be holding a meet-up. I hope you guys can find a place nearby to attend — or maybe just invite some friends and jam on your own! If you’re in the Seattle area and planning on attending leave a comment or send me an e-mail and let’s meet up for a drink! If you want to participate be sure to register now — I believe there’s some kind of deadline! Here are some links for those who’re interested:
